I used carrots instead of green peppers. I added some vinegar. However, I think this recipe was pretty bland. My 6 and 8 year old boys liked it as it was. I added more chili powder and cayenne pepper on mine. That made it a little better. I was hoping for a little more tang or something to give it a WOW. It just isn't with this recipe.

Every picky eater in my house loved these. I added some celery just to use it up. And I love that this recipe uses tomato sauce instead of ketchup so I can control the salt & sugar. Definitely a keeper!

I plan to try this -- I question how some posters can entirely change the recipe and then rate it?? You created a totally different dish.... I plan to make this with ground buffalo and decrease the saturated fat....

Have made this as written and been very satisfied. also have tried it with ground turkey and increased the veggies, adding carrots and celery also. Both ways are fine. Serve it on whole wheat burger rolls with a veggie or salad.

DON'T BUY CANNED SLOPPY JOES..........
This is the best sloppy joes receipe I have ever tried!. My husband absolutly loved it!
I added a little more hamburger and used the whole can of tomatoe paste and of course I added about 1/2 cup of water to thin it out a little and simmered a little longer.
This will definately be on our menu's in the future! Thanks Cooking Light!
